SHOW TRANSCRIPT

South Korean President Moon Jae-in departed North Korea Thursday after wrapping up a three-day summit with leader Kim Jong-un.

The first two days were reserved for talks on stalled nuclear negotiations and other inter-Korean issues.

But the two leaders ended their third summit with a highly symbolic gesture — a visit to Mount Paektu. It's the highest peak on the Korean Peninsula and is considered the spiritual birthplace of the Korean people.
